All of this is amazing news. I'll be the first with a theory about what KRAD's novel will be about. Whatever happens in Destiny will fracture the Federation, and a mass successionist movement will split in two.

It's actually 'secessionist'. I don't think that will happen, although there has been concerns raised in the "A Time To..." series and the VOY-R about losing member worlds after, if you want fodder for your theory.

I hope KRAD's novel is the one that reveals President Bacco to be the changeling from the VOY-R orchastrating both sides of the split in order to reorganize the Federation into the first Galactic Empire!

Hmm, well I'm surprised to see that still, that was the one in the Pocket catalogue, and seems to be a reuse of a Ships of the Line piccie. Glad to see some starshipy covers though, I'm not a fan of heads/faces filling up covers.

"Open Secrets" seems like it would be very appropriate to the themes of the series.

'A Farewell to Kings'... I could almost have seen that as an alternate title to 'Reap the Whirlwind'... Definitely sounds like a usable title for something in the future, if not this book.

Looking through Rush songs... there's tons of titles that would make great book titles. I think Open Secrets is my favourite for a Vanguard book, though. (I'd love to see a 'Main Monkey Business' Star Trek story sometime...)

I'm particularly looking forward to a collected release of Mere Anarchy, all of the Destiny titles, and (of course) Shards and Shadows, but everything sounds interesting...

By the way, there's a bit more Trek news from Comic-Con that's not novel-related. I happened across the booth for GIT, the company that has put out DVD-ROM collections of the entire runs of various Marvel comics (their Amazing Spider-Man collection was invaluable to me in researching Drowned in Thunder), and they had posters up proclaiming that a complete DVD collection of Star Trek comics is coming this fall. I asked the people there about it, and they said it's due in October and will contain the complete runs of "all four" publishers of Trek comics. I didn't find out for certain, but I guess if you count Wildstorm as part of DC, that would pretty much cover everything pre-IDW (Gold Key, Marvel '80s, the two DC runs, Malibu's DS9, Marvel '90s, and Wildstorm). Hopefully that's what they meant, but don't take my word for it. Anyway, this is great news, since I've been wanting to catch up on the comics from the '90s that I missed, but it's very hard to find back issues of them (and I don't have the shelf space for them anyway).

This sounds very cool.

I was pretty diligent about collecting the DC Comics run(s) in the 1990's, but there are still plenty of gaps in my collection, and I'd love to have it all collected together in one (very slim) place like that.

I imagine something like this would also help reference sources like Memory Beta, but either way, I'll want to pick this up...
